Agree - not likely. Even when the TV contract ends there is still

$100 million dollar exit fee per school plus there isn’t any interest from TCU or West Virginia in leaving the Big 12 at this point. It was interesting to to hear about the text messages being exchanged between influential donors and ACC Presidents about expansion and the ACC’s future when schools leave. Freedom of Information requests can reveal some intriguing discussions going on behind the scenes.

Mercury • 10/19/23 10:54 AM ET

Vippie1 • 10/19/23 10:58 AM ET
I don’t see any school turning down an offer from the B1G or the SEC
WBGV • 10/19/23 01:55 PM ET
The key point, is UNC Chapel Hill does not have independent operation
Mercury • 10/20/23 08:53 AM ET
